@Bones No, that wasn't one of his try assists. Not sure I remember that first try correctly, but didn't he pass the ball to the guy that gave the try assist?

If getting tackled is a try assist then just call me Dan Carter 😁

Ben Ryan in platform sneakers is amazing.

Turns out it was FWm (or perhaps FRD?) Johnny McNicholl.

And FWm Willis Halaholo as well.

Brazil have named their Os Tupis squad for the Baabaas game (translation by google):

Brazil Rugby is the best

[Billy Webb]

@Machpants those are fabulous. Wish I could give you more upvotes.

Brazil scored the first try after a clever chip kick.

[Stargazer]

Try to Campese Maafu after a break and try assist from Pete Samu.

7 all after 22 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Awesome break and try assist from David Havili! Try Bautista Ezcurra.

14 - 10 Baabaas after 31 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Try David Havili.

19 - 10 to the Baabaas after 39 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Try Luiz Vieira for Brazil. Lost count of the number of attempts; the Baabaas defence held for quite a while.

Ref letting a lot of things slide in this game.

Half time: Brazil 15 - 19 Barbarians

[Stargazer]

Try to Angus Cottrell.

The Baabaas lead 26 - 15 after 48 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Discipline is a bit of an issue for Brazil. I blame the ref. It's what you get if you let too many things go.

[Stargazer]

Havili has moved to first five now.
Edited to add that he seems to have taken over the captaincy as well.

And just as I write that, the Baabaas halfback, Jano Vermaak, scores a try; Havili converts.

Baabaas lead33 - 15 after 54 minutes.

[Stargazer]

There is no English commentary for this game, so Sky broadcasts the game without commentary. Strangely enough (or maybe it's not so strange?), I'm not missing it at all.

[Stargazer]

Ball against the base of the post! Angus Cottrell scores his second try.. Easy conversion for Havili.

40 - 15 Baabaas after 66 minutes
